Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

An aging done with maturity,
Allows some to become objective.
With a forgiving of those who had demeaned.
For whatever the reason may be,
...

On the right side of leftover need,
Trying to dropp a want...
In an empty pot not heated.
And not use to steaming up,
...

The bottomline is this:
Are there people searching their souls,
And spending sleepless nights...
With a losing of their precious time,
...

It's easy to walk in someone else's shoes.
And to feel what it takes to place their footsteps...
With mistakes made.
To never look back with a moving forward unafraid.
...

Wouldn't it be wonderful,
To know something told...
From another you heard to say,
Is not going to be changed...
...

You challenge me to debate?
That's great.
You name the time, place and date.
And I prefer to do this,
...

Manipulators eventually are beset with inner conflict.
And confused as to which foot they began to stand.
All credibility from them has been lost,
When seen to hop from one foot to another...
...

Some of you may become disappointed,
Your requests go unheeded.
With an attention sought...
You may believe deserved.
...

Focus,
You may never have a chance to start again.
Focus,
There's no promises to end what just begins.
...

You need not ever worry.
Or express a moment of concern,
If I am going to return to you...
Anything that I have borrowed.
...
